I noticed I had been spammed blocked this afternoon after restarting my computer. When I first started up Firefox I got the page where you enter your details to get your connection back and say you've run all the spam blockers etc.

I shut the computer and went into a pre-boot environment to run the virus, malware and spyware checks and when I started back up into my normal XP OS I couldn't get the page to come back up to allow me to say I've got rid of the problem. Instead all I get when I visit any page except those under the exetel.com.au domain is the following message:

I understand that Spam is a big problem and I've taken the best meausres I can to ensure that I have removed the source of the problem, but not being able to reaccess the page to submit my details is very frustrating.

Is there a way to access this page manually rather than having to rely on a redirect so I can get back up and running.

(On a side note, when I was originally on the spam notification page I tried to download the Spybot program so I could run it simply to make sure I'd run all the suggested tests. Problem is that whilst you can download the installation file for Spybot, you can't install it becuase it is unable to connect to the internet to download updates. Suggesting the use of and providing a download link to a piece of software that doen's look like it can be used is a bit of an oversight on Exetels part...)

Just after submitting that post I tried to visit Google and got redirected to the Spam page finally. It is very intermittant though, for instance I can't get back to the http://blocked.exetel.com.au/spam.php address again now.

Hopefully I'll be back up in three hours regardless but it still seems a bit flaky for my liking especially since the previous address in on the exetel.com.au domain and I can access every other section of the site
